Forney has 31,532 residents (give or take 80) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4826604, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,985 people per square mile.
Forney is about 19 miles from the Census center point for Dallas in a straight line and covers 15.883 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 9,837 occupied homes in Forney, 45% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 53% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4826604, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 53% of Forney homes, ahead of gas at 45%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Forney has about the Kaufman County oil share of 0% and 12 points less electric heat than the county's 65% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US48257, checked 2026-10-19).
Forney has 10,395 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 8% before 1980, with 76% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4826604, checked 2026-10-19).
Forney has 15 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 61% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US48257, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Forney home was built in 2010 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4826604, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4826604, checked 2026-10-19).
81% of Forney homes are single-family detached, 2% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 14% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4826604, checked 2026-10-19).
With 81% detached houses and 2% in small multi-family buildings, a Forney quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 28% of Forney homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4826604, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
76% of Forney housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4826604, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.
No electric utility is on file for Forney on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Median household income in Forney is $104,112 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4826604, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.
Heating design temperature: 22F.

That 22F figure is the Kaufman County cold-day number a Forney heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 22F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Forney home has 6 rooms and was built around 2010, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
